...when the country was at war, there was Berlin banging the drum at the head of the parade. He had often used military metaphors to invigorate his lyrics - remember that Alexander's bugle call was "So natural that you want to go to war" - and thus was primed with jingoist jingles when America did go to war. In 1917, Berlin scored with "For Your Country and My Country," "I?m Gonna Pin My Medal on the Girl I Left Behind," "Let?s All Be Americans Now? and a mother?s fond lament about her wayward soldier son, "They Were...

Eguie Castrillo occupied a middle space on the congas, sometimes meshing with the rest of the rhythm section’s ideals, but at other times, seeming almost at odds with drummer Nomar Negron, who played drum set. On “Mi Amiga Mi Amore”, the two traded combative fours (four-bar solo segments); instead of amicably pushing each other to greater creative heights, the same goal was accomplished antagonistically, as if they were attempting to show up one another (for the curious, Castrillo...
